The Sky Will Fall If The Poor Don't Pay

Dick Smith has announced a million dollar reward for some young person who
can qualify for something like a "Henny Penny media hysteria award" to raise
awareness about population growth saying he wants governments to limit
Australian family sizes to two children, because, wait for it, Australia is running
out of land and resources.


Now you don't have to tell anyone that there isn’t enough housing where we want
to live, we all know that, but Australia has plenty of land and plenty of resources.


However, I suppose there is a political debate to be had for cutting back support
for those who cannot pay their way, you know the people who put a strain on
the country's resources, and we all know raising children is expensive.


As well as the expense of children there is also the old people, the disabled,
the deaf, the blind, you have the poor people, they all need support from the
taxpayers and from welfare organisations just to be able to eat.


You've also got people living in public housing as well as those living on in public
parks, sleeping under trees the public have planted and taking shelter under
public bridges that they haven’t contributed a cent towards their own shelter......


....Turn It Up.

I would normally link to a website I refer to but type in Dick Smith and population and you'll find Dick Smith's Willberforce award, I'm not going to link to the site as I think it is a disgrace that Dick Smith has dragged Willberforce into this.

Junk food controls need junking


If it is implemented at all the traffic light system of labeling foods under red, amber or green dots - for different categories of which foods are supposed to be healthier for us - is intended only as a guide for those who basically don't know what to choose to eat.


It should never become something for politicians to dictate to the community what we can and cannot eat, certainly not in our children's lunches.

Many health and nutrition experts warn that the traffic light food labelling system is seriously flawed, as was the old food pyramid.

The best way for people to choose what to eat is to understand the choices they make and the impact those choices have on their health.

Of course we also need accurate, detailed, informative labelling to be able to make those choices.

On another topic, Listening to the news last night I'm still left wondering.....

Did the Prime Minister really say that they don't comment on matters of intelligence? …
... Turn It Up.
